Sunset House

Incredible design meets gorgeous natural surroundings, including beach views, at Sunset House. Set in the beach town of Tamarindo, this stunning Costa Rica luxury home was designed by renowned San Diego architect Steve Adams, custom built by Flor de Pacifico/Jeff Hutton and decorated by Mu Design to blend traditional tropical style with contemporary chic. Five bedrooms and indoor-outdoor living spaces make this vacation house rental both practical and unforgettable for the whole family.

During your stay, you’ll be looked after by a housekeeper, caretaker and property manager, so you’ll only have to worry about whether to stay at the villa or walk to the beach. The expansive terrace off the main living area has sun loungers with views of the beach and estuary; head down the steps to another terrace with a pool. While away the afternoon in the hammock or the massage table, then cook dinner on the barbecue and watch the Guanacaste sunset as you eat. Thanks to all-natural insecticide throughout the outdoor spaces, you’ll be able to stay out comfortably.

The heart of Sunset House is an open-fronted, thatched-roof pavilion where the warm Pacific breezes wash over a generous built-in sectional, live-edge dining table that can seat ten, and a fully equipped kitchen with a filtered water system and a counter that opens to a bar on the terrace. Accents like woven dining chairs, mid-century-inspired lounge seats and squared-off sconces add modern edge to the natural look.

Each of the five bedrooms at Sunset House has an en-suite bathroom. There are two master suites with king beds and ocean views, and two additional bedrooms with king beds, one of which has ocean views and an al-fresco shower and the other of which has a private terrace. The fifth bedroom, meant for kids, has two bunk beds and two roll-out beds in case extra accommodations are needed.

From the villa, it’s a quick 5-minute walk down to the sweep of Tamarindo Beach and a 10-minute walk to downtown Tamarindo, where you’ll find restaurants and shops. The closest airport to Sunset House is Tamarindo Airport, a 4-mile drive away.

Group shopping is easy! Now you can split the cost of your trip when you vacation with friends and family. Designate additional payees when you're ready to book, and we'll invite them to checkout as a group.

A perfect villa for the whole family, Sunset House has a specialized kids’ room, complete with two twin size bunk beds, two pull out beds and an ensuite bathroom.

Guests should be aware that roads in Costa Rica are often unpaved and a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for getting from place to place.

First class hospitality

Without a doubt one of our best vacation rentals. Lady made sure our rooms were cleaned as well as clean clothes everyday, which was so nice to come home with with suitcase full of clean clothes. She served up the most delicious breakfast and was a joy to have around. Francisco, is a true professional and was available at all hours. We can’t thank him enough for all his assistance and care.

Sunset House tamarindo

Sunset House was a perfect 10! From the views to the most amazing breakfasts this vacation was top notch. The staff could not have been better. They were knowledgeable, helpful, kind and always there if you needed them. Sunset House is more amazing in person and a perfect get away. We plan to return ASAP!

An absolutely incredible experience.

Photos truly can't capture how spectacular the views are from the house. Amazing. The bedrooms are incredibly beautiful and spacious. We were traveling with 4 couples and everyone was very pleased with their accommodations for the visit. The housekeeping staff is incredibly nice and do a great job keeping the house clean. Everyone in our group loved the laundry service. Our group spent hours lounging by the endless pool. Honestly, we preferred spending most of our vacation at the house. We highly recommend Chef Hugo for meals at the house. He is an amazing and talented chef who is also incredibly kind and fun to be around. We will definitely be back.

Very Good

The house is great. Super views and well appointed. We did have a foul oder in bedroom 2 and 3. A plumber came on Monday and helped, but the smell never went away.

Dear Lynn,
Thank you for taking the time to share feedback on your stay at Sunset House. Please rest assured that the odour coming from the two bedrooms has been rectified. It was caused by heavy rains.
We are glad you enjoyed the villa and look forward to your next stay with Luxury Retreats!

Peacefully breathtaking

The Sunset House and its staff was probably one of the best experiences I have had on vacation. We walked into the home and was stunned by the beauty of the view of the the Pacific Ocean. The ocean breezes, picturesque sunsets, and comfortable surroundings will always be a wonderful everlasting memory for me. I felt like I was in a treehouse with the multiple levels and various views. You were able to get away yet be with everyone if you wanted within the house. We were greeted by Francisco who made us feel welcomed immediately and helped us with making spa appointments, restaurants, food delivery or anything we needed to have a fantastic time. The staff who cleaned daily, and did laundry always went above and beyond. My family will be talking about this vacation for some time. We are looking at Luxury Rentals for our next adventure!

Tamarindo Delight

Our Sunset House experience was absolutely wonderful. Three generations of family ranging in age from 3 to 72 years all had a marvelous time together. The house comfortably accommodated the entire party of 14 (8 adults and 6 children) family members. Costa Rica was a joy. We ziplined, swam everyday, rode horses, walked the beaches, surfed, and ate, ate, and ate! Luxury Retreats did a superb job of arranging the vacation from start to finish. The onsite help was pleasant, professional, and highly competent. We couldn't be more pleased and would definitely consider another similar experience sometime in the future.

Expectations exceeded on every level!!!

We just returned from an absolutely amazing trip to Costa Rica - thanks to Luxury Retreats! We were a group of 4 couples (mid 40's) and this was our first Luxury Retreats experience. From the moment I started looking at possible villa options 6 months ago to the moment we said our good-byes and left the villa this week - Luxury Retreats were at our service - there to help us decide which villa was right for us, to helping with activity planning (before and during our stay), to assisting with restaurant reservations...they were extremely professional and bent over backwards to make us feel pampered and at ease that everything was taken care of. We truly can't say enough great things and I've already told 3 other couples they MUST use Luxury Retreats for their next vacation - I'm fairly certain I've not felt so positive about any experience. We can't wait to plan our next trip with them. Thank you to everyone who make us feel so special!!!!!

The Sunset House made a dream vacation!

The Sunset House was absolutely breathtaking! The house is exactly like the pictures. The house provides the perfect view for the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The infinity pool is where we spent most of our time when we weren't on the beach. The house is very spacious and accommodated our group of 14 perfect. The daily laundry service, house cleaning, and chef services (highly recommended) made the vacation stay even better. The Sunset House is perfect for your dream vacation!
